Note: i'm not exactly happy with how my last chapter turned out and i'm sorry if i've disappointed any fans of my story, hopefully this as well as future chapters will make up for it

Vengeance of Vilgax

Kevin threw punches at Ssserpent but due to his fast reflexes he dodged them all with ease before he hit Kevin in the stomach sending him flying and tumbling back, Gwen, in her Anodite form rapidly threw balls of mana at him but like with Kevin's punched he dodged them with ease. He was about to attack Gwen when his tail was grabbed and he was slammed to the ground multiple times by Ship in his battle suit form, after the tenth time Ship let him go. As he started to get back up he was hit full force by a large sparking mana ball which exploded sending him up in the air, Shocksquatch and Gwen could be seen standing next to each other with their opposite arms extended out in front of each other.

Kevin, with his arms now silver, was running at Ship "hey Ship boost me" he yelled and jumped up

"Ship" it said as it put its hand under Kevin's feet and launched him straight at Ssserpent. Once Kevin was close enough he raised his arms above his head and as soon as he was next to Ssserpent he gave him a sledgehammer hit sending the snake-like alien shooting straight down and crashing into the ground. Gwen then encased Kevin in a ball of mana and gently lowered him back down to the ground

"once again another job well done" Shocksquatch said before they all turned back to normal

"great idea combining Shocksquatch's electric balls with your mana balls" Ben said

"thanks, these team combo's really get the job done a lot faster huh?" Gwen said as Ship climbed up on Ben.

Suddenly a figure wearing a green and yellow robe with a black sash appeared in front of them "greetings Ben Tennyson, I am Lukik senior ambassador of the Dracosian Empire, I have been granted the great honour of presenting you with this as a small token of our gratitude in saving all life in the universe from extinction at the hands of the Highbreed my people present you with the galactic medal of honour, the highest award a non Dracosian can be given" he said as he put the medal around Ben's neck

"thank you so much" Ben said with a forced smile

"the people of Dracosia marvel at your power and offer you our gratitude" he said as he kneeled down in front of Ben before disappearing.

The smile immediately fell from Ben's face and he took the medal off "I swear, it was cool for the first few days but now it's just annoying" Ben said before he turned to Kevin "here yah go" he said as he gave it to him

Kevin sighed as he pocketed the medal "you ever thought of selling these things instead, you've already given me 10 medals and 13 trophies" he said

"well he's given me 14 medals and 20 trophies" Gwen stated

"hey look all I did was change the DNA of all of the Highbreed everything else was team work so you guys deserve them just as much as I do" Ben stated

"you know Ben I'm really proud of you" Gwen said

"how so?"

"well you haven't let all of this fame go to your head"

"well at first I did but after the first few days the charm of it wore off and now it's just like, meh"

"come on lets drop Ssserpent off at Plumber HQ and get some smoothies" Kevin said casually as he grabbed Ssserpent by the tail and put his other hand on Ben's shoulder

"you guys go on a head to Mr Smoothy I'll take snake man to Plumber HQ" Ben said as he grabbed Ssserpent's tail out of Kevin's hand

"alright we'll meet you there" Gwen said before Ben activated his teleporter and disappeared in a flash "you've gotta wonder what his next big challenge is going to be" Gwen said

"getting a girlfriend" Kevin said which surprisingly made Gwen laugh

"okay big guy back to your car" she said as he guided him back to his car.

Later

The three teenagers were now outside Mr Smoothy drinking their smoothies "I don't know how you can drink the combo of Dr Pepper and grape smoothies" Gwen stated

"what can I say it's the closest thing to Grats there is" Ben said before taking a long sip. As he finished his smoothy his Omnitrix began beeping "huh the Plumbers com-link, that's got to be..." he answered it "Grandpa Max?"

"Bad news Ben, Vilgax is back" Max said

"what but that's impossible I literally blew him to pieces as a kid"

"I don't know how ether but he's back and he's issued a conquerors challenge to you"

"Ben can't accept that" Kevin said

"I can and I will...what's a conquerors challenge anyway?" Ben said

"the Galvin set it up to limit the destruction caused by interplanetary wars. Rather than risk mass destruction, both planets can choose a single warrior to represent them. The winner becomes the ruler of both worlds" Max explained

"and Vilgax is challenging me? Perfect, this time I'll make sure he stays dead" Ben said in a dark tone which unnerved Max, Gwen and Kevin

"Ben I know Vilgax is responsible for all of those horrible things you did back when you were a kid but you don't want to be labelled as a murderer do you?" Gwen stated as she put an arm around Ben. She could see that Ben was having an internal struggle before he gave a sigh

"fine I won't kill him but I'm still going to beat him senseless" Ben stated angrily

Later still

The three teens and Ship were in Kevin's car watching footage of Max, Manny, Helen, Pierce, Alan, and Cooper getting beaten by Vilgax "Vilgax looks a lot different than when I last saw him" Ben said

"yeah he also appears to be a lot stronger than he was before, he took out Grandpa Max and his team like they were nothing" Gwen said which made Ben nod in agreement

"that's why I think you're gonna need an edge" Kevin said before the door to the warehouse they were in front of rose up revealing a huge machine inside

"what's that for?" Ben asked

"you know your Omnitrix?" Kevin said

"yeah?" Ben questioned

"we're gonna hack it" Kevin said, Ben looked at his Omnitrix he started to get a bad feeling as he thought of the idea of trying to hack the Omnitrix

"no" he finally said surprising Kevin

"no? What do you mean no, if we hack the Omnitrix then we can unlock the master control" Kevin protested

"I'm sorry Kevin but I think that if we try hacking it something bad will happen, besides as long as I've got this little guy there's no way I can lose" Ben said as he rubbed Ship's head

"well if you say so" Kevin said thinking about how he was going to get all of his money back from the hacking machine.

Ben was now standing in front of his bedroom mirror "naked" while he looked over as his cybernetic part's, as he touched the part where his cybernetic arm attached to his body he began having flashbacks of all of the horrible things he had done, and it was all because of Vilgax. He so wanted to kill Vilgax for all of the horrible things he had done to him but the logical side took over and he realised that he would be no better than Vilgax if he killed out of revenge.

"Am I interrupting anything?" a voice said Ben turned around and saw Azmuth standing on his bed

"oh hey Azmuth what brings you here?" Ben asked

"I heard what your friend Kevin wanted to do with the Omnitrix" he said

"huh? How did-"

"my business, however you have made me proud that you chose not to hack the Omnitrix in order to win the conquerors challenge, I was honestly expecting you to do the stupid thing and try to hack it which could have caused catastrophic damage to not only you but the whole planet as well"

"Azmuth about the conquerors challenge would it be cheating if I allowed Ship to assist me in the fight"

"ah yes the Galvanic Mechamorph that's been mucking about with the Omnitrix for some time now" he said in a disapproving tone "however because Galvanic Mechamorph's are living technology they can be classified as a weapon"

"phew that's a relief, hear that boy were gonna cream Vilgax" Ben said while Ship happily chirped its name, Ben then sighed and looked at Azmuth "Azmuth you're literally the smartest guy I know so I was hoping you could help me with a dilemma I'm having"

"you're questioning if you want to terminate Vilgax or not, am I correct?"

"yeah"

"Benjamin I can't tell you what you should or shouldn't do, all I know is that judging on your decision today I know you that you'll make the right decision" Azmuth said before he disappeared.

Ben sighed but then smiled happily as he realised that the grouchy Azmuth was actually proud of him "I honestly thought I'd never hear him say those words" he said before he put on a shirt and hopped into bed.

The next day

In Bellwood Park Psyphon reappeared on top of a large rock "people of Earth today's contest is being broadcast simultaneously on all information channels be forewarned the conquerors challenge is a courtesy. Vilgax's fleet is currently in orbit around this planet. Should your champion fail to show, Vilgax will declare victory and obliterate the Earth, as is his legal right" Psyphon stated

"and if Vilgax chickens out I win right?" Jetray said as he flew in, wearing some kind of black and green armour, and tackled Psyphon to the ground before turning into "Swampfire!" and he pinned Psyphon to the ground "give me so much as one reason why I shouldn't burn you to a crisp for what you did to me as a kid, go on I dare you" Swampfire said in a low dangerous tone.

Psyphon who was now sweating bullets looked just beyond Swampfire's head and smiled "does that count as a reason?" he asked Swampfire turned around and saw a huge fireball heading towards them

"lets see how good of a shield you make" Swampfire stated as he grabbed onto the front of Psyphon and flipped over just as the fireball hit resulting in a huge explosion. Swampfire stood up now holding a badly hurt Psyphon "yeah you do make a good shield" he said before hurling him to the side as the large figure of Vilgax emerged from some flames

"Ben 10, I've come to kill you and conquer your world. Is now a bad time?" Vilgax said

"nope now is as good a time as any but I do have one tiny little question to ask you, um HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE!" Swampfire said while yelling the last part

"well by all accounts I should in fact be dead seeing as how you obliterated my original body, but fate it would seem saw fit that I have a second chance at life. You see my assistant Psyphon managed to find enough pieces of my original body to completely regenerate a new one for me thanks to the help of Dr. Psychobos" Vilgax explained "add to the fact I now possess the combined strength and powers of 20 of the greatest warriors from 20 worlds of which I will use to obliterate you as you did to me" Vilgax stated

"why 20?" Ben asked

"I was originally going to do 10 but when I heard a rumour that you defeated Vilespa in combat I decided to add an extra 10" Vilgax explained before he pulled out his sword which burst into flames and swung it at Swampfire slicing him in half which he quickly reformed and dodged several more strikes before he shot a stream of fire at Vilgax's face. Vilgax growled as he shielded his face from the flames, when they stopped he charged at Swampfire and impaled him with his flaming sword

"yeah not the best of moves big guy" Swampfire said as the armour on his chest spread to both arms one of them grabbed onto the sword while the other was aimed at Vilgax's face an energy blast then shot out of his hand and sent Vilgax flying back a few meters. Swampfire then pulled the sword out of his stomach and snapped it in half before tossing the two pieces to the side, the armour then retracted to his chest and in a flash he turned into "Four Arms!", Vilgax quickly got to his feet and socked the charging Four Arms in the face sending him to the ground, he then grabbed Four Arms' leg and hurled him to the side. Four Arms tumbled along the ground before he finally stopped in a fountain. When he got up his head was smashed into the statue in it, causing the top half of the statue to break, in a flash of green he turned into "Shocksquatch!" he then shoved Vilgax back and got on his hands and knees in the fountain, he then unleashed so much electricity that the water began to glow yellow. Vilgax roared in pain as electricity coursed through his body before he swung his leg and kicked Shocksquatch out of the water, Vilgax stumbled a bit before he regained his composure, as soon as he did however his legs were frozen solid in ice looking up he saw a Necrofriggian standing in front of him "why don't I show you how I beat Vilespa to a bloody pulp" he then looked down at the armour on his chest "Ship, I'm thinking of XLR-Arms" Big Chill said

"Ship" he chirped and in a flash he turned into a red, muscular, four armed version of XLR8 he then shot forward and his arms became blurs as he rapidly punched Vilgax in the chest. With a quadruple punch to the chest Vilgax's armour shattered like glass and he was sent flying back again as the ice encasing his legs broke.

When he started to get back up he was given a high-speed punch straight to the face "so even with the combined powers of 20 warriors you still can't beat one little teenager" XLR-Arms said before he was struck in the stomach by Vilgax's optic blasts. As XLR-Arms started to get up Vilgax came down on him and punched him in the face so hard that he made a crater from the impact, Vilgax then stomped on his head

"yield and your demise will be mercifully brief" he said as he forced XLR-Arms head further into the ground, XLR-Arms gave a grin

"what you're doing to me now won't be a fraction as painful as what I've about to do to you" XLR-Arms said

"and what prey tell would that be?"

"just this" and XLR-Arms began to whistle.

Vilgax howled in pain as he stumbled off of XLR-Arms, XLR-Arms then quickly got up and gave Vilgax an upper cut sending him flying out of the crater before he follow "what in the name of Vilgaxia was that" Vilgax demanded

"whistling" XLR-Arms started "I found out that your species has enhanced hearing so I know that whistling really hurt's"

"I'll kill you" Vilgax then ran at XLR-Arms only to stop and hold his head in agony as XLR-Arms started whistling again. He walked up to Vilgax while still whistling and he turned into Fourmungousaur, rearing an arm back he punched the stumbling Vilgax into the ground, he began repeatedly punching Vilgax into the ground while still whistling.

"man Vilgax is getting his butt handed to him" Kevin said as he and Gwen floated on a platform of mana above the fight

"yeah but still it's not over yet" Gwen added as she saw Fourmungousaur stop whistling and increase in size, he then shoved his hand into the ground and pulled out Vilgax by his left leg

"my parents always told me to make every second count" he said as he slammed Vilgax to the ground twice and then hurled him to the side making him crash through several tree's before coming to a stop. Fourmungousaur ran forward before leaping up into the air and coming down, stomping on Vilgax's chest he then punched Vilgax in the face, there was then a flash of green and standing in Fourmungousaur's spot was an alien Ben had never turned into before; he was about 6 inches taller than Ben normally was, his skull was also slightly larger than an adult humans head with two dark blue horns that protruded at near 45 degree angles at the sides of his head. He had blue sections on his head, shoulders, and abdomen that appeared to be swirling inside. He also has a thick tail with a dark blue spiked end, as well as having three talon-like toes on each foot. His skin was light blue with his arms and legs having lines on them as well as his tail. He also wore green forearm and shin guards and what looked like a green speedo, while ship continued to be armour on his chest "whoa this is a new guy!" Ben exclaimed before Vilgax punched him in the face sending him flying, but he quickly managed to stop himself in mid air "well flying is one of the abilities this guy has, lets see how strong this guy is" Ben then flew forward at incredible speed and punched Vilgax in the stomach with such force it made an aftershock. Ben watched as Vilgax doubled over and groaned in pain, Ben then unleashed a barrage of punches, kicks, and tail whips, if he had to guess he'd say that this alien was even stronger than Way Big.

Taking in the fact that he was mostly blue and a light mist was pouring from his body, he took a shot in the dark and took a deep breath before blowing out hard, the force of his breath coming out however was equal to the force of a hurricane. When he stopped he saw that Vilgax was now encased in a huge chunk of ice, the tree's in front of him were blown back and encased in ice and all of the grass was covered in ice as well "whoa, I think I'll call this guy Frostbite" he said before he flew forward and punched the chunk of ice containing Vilgax. Frostbite's fist tore through the ice and made direct contact with Vilgax's face causing him to burst out of the back of the chunk of ice and slide along the ice covered ground and crashed into an ice covered tree. Frostbite then flew up and came back down planting both knees into Vilgax's stomach causing Vilgax to cough out blood. Concentrating a bit Frostbite formed a large spiked mace of ice appear on the end of his right arm and stood on Vilgax's chest "so Villy do you yield or do I have to keep beating you senseless?" Frostbite asked raising the mace up

"I yield" Vilgax said

"that's right, you do" Frostbite said before he hopped off of Vilgax as Gwen and Kevin landed next to them

"great work Tennyson" Kevin said as he slapped Frostbite on the back, they then all heard a groan of pain looking up they saw Psyphon limping painfully over to them while holding his bleeding left arm

"huh, well what do ya know, you're more durable than I thought you were" Frostbite said Psyphon just gave a growl at this

"Vilgax" Max said as he walked up, Vilgax who was lying on the ground barely able to move now turned his head to look at Max "by the rules of the galactic code, as ratified by the Casey-Kelly accords, you have lost this contest. You must leave this world and never attack it again. Do you acknowledge?" Max stared

"I do" Vilgax replied he then turned his head to look as Frostbite "but know this, Ben Tennyson, I will have my vengeance upon you" he vowed

"Sure thing. Get out of here" Frostbite said, Psyphon pressed some buttons on his limp arm and both he and Vilgax disappeared followed by the ships in the sky and then the machine that made the dome over the park "hey guys I don't think Ship can keep the Omnitrix active for much longer so I'll meet you at Mr Smoothy's to talk about this" Frostbite said before he flew off as fast as he could.

"I swear that cousin of yours is really something" Kevin said

"yeah he really is" Gwen said before turning to Max "so the whole world saw the fight?" she asked

"yes they did, thankfully Ship was able to keep the Omnitrix active long enough while he was fighting so his secrets still safe" Max replied

"hands up if you thought he was going to off Vilgax" Kevin said before he raised his hand, Max put up his hand and with a sigh Gwen put her hand up as well.

With Ben

Ben was now hovering over Bellwood with Ship perched on his shoulder "we kicked Vilgax's butt big time" he said as he looked over the city

"ship, ship" Ship chirped in a happy tone

"yep, thanks to our team work he'll never bother the Earth again...but I wonder, with the Highbreed no longer a threat and Vilgax sent packing for good what else could there be"

"Ship shi sh ip"

"yeah your right if any other bad guys come well stop them like we always do" and he rubbed Ship's head "we'd better head on over to Mr Smoothy's before Gwen and Kevin start to worry about us" and with that Ben flew off.
